The police could just ask Apple, it isn't like they are going to have some secret reboot process that they would hide from the police.

And what would Apple be able to do about it? They don’t have your password*, so they’ll be just as unable to decrypt the device as the police.

*you can give them your password via iCloud I believe but you don’t have to

I'm not saying apple will do anything about it, just that they will let the cops know what is causing the reboots if asked.
